[Video][Transmitting from the Junk Pile]

I might have accidentally started the fireworks early.

[The edges of his plating are singed, and just behind him the very flaming carcass of an automobile is roaring in its death throes.]

Energon, it seems, is not a viable replacement for gasoline. [He is grateful he didn't try consuming it before this test, and even more grateful that he managed to start the vehicle from a distance.]

[Since. Ah. It exploded.]

I don't suppose anyone has any suggestions? Or a way to convert us to a different fuel source?

Or some wash-cloths and soap?

[mccrane]

I don't think I am...

[He can't check on his back, which did get the worst of the explosion, since he'd been running at the time. He does pull his crane over his shoulder, which is certainly a little burnt looking, but still whole.]

It wasn't pleasant, but I will survive. [Even if it hurts a bit. Ow.]

Good thought. Many of these Cybertronians stayed on earth...maybe they had the reverse problem, there?

[patokichi]

Oh gosh. Well at least you're not injured.

[RELIEF.]

I'll head on over. There are a few scraps of cloth I've picked up, so we'll get you cleaned up as much as we can.

And that's the idea, hopefully. Or one of the mechs in charge of the temples. One of them might be knowledgeable about it. I've been meaning to contact Prima, so I'll see if I can discuss it with him.

[mccrane]

I am sorry to have tried something so dangerous without warning you first.

[He just hadn't expected this result.]

Deckerd... [How can you be so nice? ;-; He doesn't want to stay all sooty.] Thank you, Deckerd.

Perhaps we can make a trip, after the fireworks? There are some things I have been wanting to ask Prima, as well.

[patokichi]

It's okay. Just as long as you're in one piece. I'll be over soon.

[He nods.]

Certainly, I'd feel better having you along.

[mccrane]

I shouldn't be hard to find.

[He almost smiles on that. You can follow the burning wreckage. Or. At least the smoke, since Korra is there taking care of the burning part.]

I would, too. [Only, you know. With you.]

((If you want to join in, pop below with Korra and I! Otherwise, we can have them talk more in the fireworks thread later.))

[patokichi]

Then we'll do it.

[Vroom. Coming to clean up your sooty butt, McCrane.]

((We'll jam in the fireworks log!))
